Claudia Ciesla shooting for ‘Yaar Pardesi’
Talking to The Tribune, Claudia said she was working on a few projects when she got the offer and her life changed altogether. “When I was offered ‘Bigg Boss-3’, I gave my consent just to see if I could manage to strive in a difficult situation,” she said. “As time passed, I started enjoying every bit of it. All contestants were very friendly with me and I loved the show,” she added. “It was a test of one’s patience. I certainly passed with flying
colours. On the contrary, ‘Bigg Boss-5’ is crazy,” she further said. “The contestants are always fighting. They do not leave any opportunity to hurt others. This is uncalled for and the entire atmosphere is tense,” she stated. Asked how she felt when she could not make it to the finale of the show, she said she did not have any regrets. “I was glad that I spent so much time in the house and people, both in and outside the house, loved me. What else can one ask for,” she said. “Since then, I have been getting various offers, but I do not want to rush things. I am shooting for this Punjabi movie and a Bollywood one, shooting for which will begin on December 15,” she quipped. Throwing light on ‘Yaar Pardesi’, Claudia said she played the role of a foreigner who comes to India with her friends but gets entangled in many things. “I have taken classes to learn Punjabi and will continue to learn Punjabi. I am enjoying every bit of this movie. Life in Mumbai is very fast, but working in Punjab was so much fun. I am looking forward to more Punjabi films,” she added.

Chandigarh Overseas fined Rs 50,000
Chandigarh, November 28 The forum, comprising president PD Goel and, members Rajinder Singh Gill and Madanjit Kaur Sahota, observed: “It is established on record that as per the terms and conditions agreed between the parties, the opposite parties have failed to deliver the possession, as agreed upon. Moreover, Greenfield Sites Management Private Limited (opposite party No. 2) has offered the “buyback option” to the complainant, which was accepted by him vide letter on April 6. Therefore, the opposite parties cannot wriggle out of the agreed terms and conditions.” The district forum also directed the opposite party to pay Rs7.5 lakh to the complainant besides Rs 10,000 as costs of litigation. The complainant, Manish Jakhar, averred that he had executed “developer buyer agreement” with the opposite party No. 1 pertaining to industrial zone to set up a techno-knowledge park for fashion technology — “Industrial Knowledge (Fashion Technology) Park — on a piece of land measuring 13.74375 acre situated at Sector 90, SAS Nagar. He said as per the agreement, the he was assured a lease rental income of Rs 30,000 per annum subject to maximum of Rs 45,000 per annum per unit to be paid on monthly basis by way of accounts payee cheques. He said the opposite parties failed to start the construction and ultimately offered to purchase the unit for Rs 7.50 lakh from him. The offer was applicable after 30 months from the date of start of construction. Thus, the complainant exercised the “buyback option” on April 6. However, the opposite party did not pay the agreed amount under the option. The opposite parties, in their joint reply, took the preliminary objection that as per term 22 of the developer buyer agreement on December 29, 2006 any disputes arising between two parties to the agreement were to be referred to the arbitrator, hence the complaint was not maintainable. Further, the opposite party No. 2 had no role in delivering the possession of the unit to the complainant. It was pleaded that the total sale consideration of the unit was Rs 5 lakh. They also denied that the buyer had paid a lump sum of Rs 4.75 lakh and in that case, Rs 25,000 would be exempted. It was also pleaded that as per the letter on December 29, 2006, the complainant had to communicate the acceptance in writing within 30 months from the date of the letter but they never received any request from the complainant.
